Application tiled October 27, 1902. Serial No. 128,935. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Sametime The further objects and advantages of my construction will beshown by the following speciicationand by the accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure l is a perspective view ot' my irnprovement, the front ofthe bowl and pipe being broken away to show the trap in position.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view, the trap being shown in elevation. Fig. 3 isa view of the upper part of thev bowl, parts being in section and thepipe from the flushing-tank being in elevation. Fig. 4 is a detailsectional view of thestep, the lower part being broken away to show theseat for the spring.

In carrying out my improvement'l employ the usual bowl A, flushing-tankB, and the discharge-pipe C. The upper part of the bowl is surrounded byan annular inwardly- A pipe B extends at the rear and is bent around tothe front, passing under the annular flange, and is downwardly open atits front end.

The pipe C has an annular shoulder C formed therein, and beneath thisshoulder rests a valve C2, pivoted at C3. The side of the pipe oppositethe pivoted side of the valveis cut out, as at C4, for a purpose to behereinafter described. A' plate D is secured terminating at its upperend in a step D5, the upper face of which is serrated. A rod Da extendsfrom the rear of the step upward and at its upper end is attached to alink Df,which in turn operates a valve of the usual construction locatedatB2in the iiushing-pipe B. I

Rigidly secured to and extending from the standard DL1 is a rod E, whichpasses through the cut-out portion C4 and is then bent upward, its endnormally resting beneath and supporting the free edge of the valve C2.To keep the opening C4 closed, slide-plates E E2 cover the opening andslide with the rod E.

It will be obvious from the drawings that a downward movement of thestep D5 will open the valve at B2 and throw the valve C2, the rod Ebeing given a downward and horizontal movement. i Having thus fullydescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is 1. In an attachmentof the kind described, thecombination with a bowl, of a iiushingpipe, adischarge-pipe, a valvepivoted in the discharge-pipe, said pipe being cut away on one sidebelow the valve, a movable step outside the bowl, a rod extending fromthe step to the valve, slide-plates covering the opening in the pipe,and means connected to the step for flushing the bowl when the step isdepressed.

2. In an attachment of the kind described, the combination with adischarge -pipe, a valve pivoted therein, said pipe being laterally cutaway below the valve, sliding plates covering said opening, a rod havingone end resting beneath the valve and" extending through said opening, amovable step connected to the outer end of the rod, a spring under saidstep, and means connected to the ustep for ushingthe'- pipe when thestep is depressed.
